STOCKHOLM, December 19, 2011 — Cortus offers environmentally friendly and renewable energy for energy intensive industries. Cortus has attracted international attention for its patented gasification process the WoodRoll ®. Now Cortus is given support in its export drive by the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth.

”Cortus patented gasification process has potential both nationally and internationally. It is in line with our pilot efforts in the area Environment Driven Export”, says Tony Meurke, at the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth.

High temperature combustion in process industries demands high calorific and clean fuels. Cortus is building the future of innovative and sustainable energy supply for the process industries based upon our new biomass gasification technology - WoodRoll ®. We supply clean renewable synthesis gas to energy intensive industries such as glass, pulp and paper, cement, minerals and lime.

WoodRoll is a new gasification technology processing biomass into clean gaseous fuel. This patented gasification process is divided into three steps, namely drying, pyrolysis and gasification. Unique to the WoodRoll is that the produced char is gasified in an indirectly heated reactor: the carbon is gasified with steam and produces synthesis gas. The char and steam are thus not mixed with the exhaust from combustion or nitrogen from the air. This produces a clean synthesis gas which is free from condensable tar residues and nitrogen aggregates.
